Documentation Needed for Private Sales in Rhode Island

If you are selling your car privately in Rhode Island, there are certain documents you want to ensure you have to complete the transaction as smoothly as possible:

  • Bill of Sale: This document is basically a receipt for the transaction. You will want to note the sale price, vehicle information, and it must have the signatures of both the buyer and seller.
  • Transfer of Title: Ensure the car title is free of liens and ready for transfer. You will need to fill in the transfer section on the back of the title to note you are transferring ownership to the buyer.
  • Vehicle History Report: Not mandatory, but adding a vehicle history report could add to the transparency and trustworthiness of your sale.
  • Release of Liability: It formally informs the RhodeSafe Transactions Online.

Safe Transactions Online

There can be risks when conducting online transactions. Here are some key considerations to help you sell with safety on KarKiosk:

  • Secure Communication: Use KarKiosk security messaging to communicate with potential buyers. Do not provide personal/real contact information until you feel comfortable with the buyer.
  • Verify Payment Methods: Accept payment methods that are secure. Cashier's checks/bank transfers are safer than cash. Always verify the authenticity of the payment before handing over the keys.
  • Meet in Safe Locations: If possible, meet in public, well-lit places. You can never be too safe, so take a friend.
  • Trust Your Instincts: If something doesn’t feel right or the buyer is making strange requests, trust your instincts. You would be better off selling to someone else than risking your personal safety.
